His Purchased Wife

CHAPTER 116

Aurora's heartbeat quickened when she dialled Susan's number on her phone. Liam asked if she

needed him to be with her but she denied. This was something she needed to do privately and Liam

accepted her need of privacy. He kissed her head before letting her walk out of his cabin.

She loved this about Liam. He understood the situation and never asked her to blindly follow his words.

If it had been Gabriel instead of Liam he wouldn't even let her call Susan let alone give her privacy.

Her grip on her phone tightened when Susan accepted the call. "Hello," she answered in a stiff tone.

Aurora gulped before speaking, she could sense that it was not going to be easy to cajole her angry

friend. "Hey Susie…"

Susan who was busy in her designing research stopped everything when she saw Aurora's number

flashing on her cell phone. Her heart flipped when in happiness that her bestie was calling her but then

her pride poked in. Everyone treated her like a stress ball.

Whatever she did was for Aurora's happiness and she treated her like a criminal. Susan was not ready

to forgive her for the pain she endured in her absence. She fisted her hand when Ralph's face flashed

in her memory, if Aurora had been there with her she would not have felt a lone, she wouldn't have left

herself for a man who used her for his pleasure.

"Susie, please say something…"

She was so lost in her thoughts that she

Didn't listen to anything Aurora said. "I didn't hear you, Aurora, can you please repeat," she said in her

professional tone.

Aurora stiffened hearing the coldness in her tone. The girl who used to greet her affectionately was

behaving like a distanced friend who rarely talked. "I know you are angry with me and I apologise for it,

Susie. I know what I did was wrong but I was angry at you. I was angry…"

"Angry for what Aurora. For helping you get out of an abusive relationship! For helping you move on

with your life with the man who was actually good for you, with whom you are living happily now. I

agree I shouldn't have get involved but I did that because I loved you but I forgot that you only see what

you want to see."

Aurora gasped. "Loved?"

Susan sighed. "Aurora, I am sorry but right now I need some time. You always said that you need time

right, today I am asking you the same, give me time. I can't become the old Susan just because you

apologised to me. In these past few weeks I saw life from a different perspective. I want to find myself,

Aurora."

Tears perked in her eyes. "Be angry with me, don't talk to me but accept my apology, Susie."

Susan closed her eyes. Her God Mother's face flashed in her eyes and her last words rang in her mind.

Take care of Aurora like an Elder Sister, Susan. I am entrusting my daughter to you, Susie.

"Because I promised Aunt Savi to take care of you. Because of her I am accepting your apology."

Aurora touched her necklace and thanked her mother for helping her in every situation. "Thank you and

Susan, I have something important to ask you."

"What is it?"

"Will you be my maid of honour?" She asked in an emotional voice and heard Susan inhaling sharply.

"Your hard work paid off, Susie, I am engaged to the man you approve of and we are getting married

soon."

Aurora had not discussed her marriage date with Liam yet but she knew that he would want to get

married to her as soon as possible, and now when she asked the question to Susan she felt it right.

She was ready to tie herself with Liam in sacred wedding vows.

"Do you have a date yet, I need to clear my schedule."

Aurora laughed at that. "I will tell you the date soon, Susie. Thank you, thank you so very much and

remember that I love you, Sista."

Susan smiled at her words but she was still angry over her. "I have to go, Aurora. I wish you all the

happiness you want in life," saying that she ended the call before she became weak.

She came to the USA to forget about Ralph, she can't go back to Canada until she gets her emotions

under control. She just prayed that Aurora won't marry till Emily came back from her honeymoon.

Aurora smiled happily. She wanted to do the happy dance, everything was going in the right direction.

Her father was coming to meet her the day after tomorrow. Her friend almost forgave her and not to

mention her fiancee who loves her with all his heart.

Aurora sent a message to Emily informing about her being officially engaged to Liam. She didn't find it

right to disturb the lovebirds on their honeymoon.

She was lost in her dream world when a knock sounded on her door. She turned and found Kavin's

secretary standing there. "Miss Kings, Kevin has been calling on your intercom for about an hour but

you didn't accept his call."

Aurora's eyes widened. "Oh No! I am so sorry, is there something important?"

She raised her brows."Of course it should be something important if he has been calling me for one

hour."

She nodded. "He wants to see the new designs you draw."

Aurora nodded. "Yes they are ready, I will come to his cabin."

Aurora picked her design book and ran after her.

"They are nice, Miss King. I am impressed with your designing skills."

Aurora nodded. If it had been seven months before today she would have rejoiced with his appreciation

but not today, Kevin had lost the respect in her eye. "May I show them to the CEO, Mr Rawls?"

Kevin frowned. "You don't know?"

"What?"

"Mr Knight has once again given me the free hand to decide everything here. He is going to focus on Belongs to © n0velDrama.Org.

his other businesses now."

Aurora scowled at that. "Really?" She whispered. Liam didn't tell her that. They spent every night

together and he didn't even bother sharing it with her.

She needed to talk with him about it.

"Now there is no need for him to pass the designs. This is good, I approve of them, we can send them

to the artisans."

Aurora smiled at him but decided to meet him in his cabin. She went to his floor but when asked the

front desk employee informed her that he was not in his cabin.

She frowned, not liking him leaving without even telling her. She was not going to let him go easily for

this. She was angry and thinking about all the things she would be doing to punish him for not sharing

this important information with her but everything stopped when a thought popped into her mind.

She was stunned at the direction of her thoughts but the more she thought about it the more sense it

made to her. She recalled the gossip she heard that Liam never took any interest in the Jewellery

business till now and this was the first time he came to check the working of the business.

Her heartbeat quickened. "Did he do this because of me?" She asked herself. Now everything started

making sense to her, he came here for her. "Liam Knight, what kind of man are you?"

Aurora couldn't believe that he loves her so much that he gave up every other work just to be with her

but then her awe filled heart was filled with anger. "Mr Liam Knight, you came to this office to make me

fall in love with you and now that you have achieved that you are left as if I was a mission to you! No

that's not how this was going to work. You have to be with me in this office till my internship period."

She couldn't wait until tonight, she needed to meet him now but the problem was she didn't know

anything about his whereabouts.

She went back to his floor to talk with his secretary on the front desk. "I am sorry but I am not at liberty

to share it with anyone."

Aurora didn't want anyone else to know about their engagement yet but decided to use her status to

know the details of his other office. "I am his fiance, do you want me to tell him how you didn't tell me

about his whereabouts when I wanted to surprise him. You can lose your job, Miss."

The girl swallowed. Everyone in the office knows how special she was for Liam Knight. The girl agreed

to share the information and Aurora smiled in victory.

She was in the elevator when her eyes went to her reflection in the mirror. She giggled when an erotic

image of herself and Liam flashed in her memory. "No, don't let your hormones rule you, Aurora. He

loves you, yes. But he can't do anything he wants now that you are engaged to him. Remember, what

Susan used to tell you about boys. You control him before he can control you."

"You are going to talk first and have…" she cleared her throat. "...him later."

She couldn't believe he owns this kind of property. The place was so far away from the main city that it

took her three hours to reach here. She paid the cab driver and stepped out of the car. There was a

camera there on the gate. Before she could even do anything a man came there, he was wearing a

black suit. "What are you doing here, Miss King? How did you find out about the place?"She had seen

this man with Liam on multiple occasions. He was one of his bodyguards.

Aurora frowned, hearing him. He was talking as if this was some hiding spot. Aurora's eyes widened

when she saw him pulling out his phone. He was probably calling Liam and if he comes to.know about

it all he rolan would go into the drain.

"Liam asked me to meet him here."

The man downed his hand and scowled at her answer. "Mr Knight called you here?" He asked

carefully.

"Yes."

The man didn't want to become the prey of Liam's anger so allowed her inside. "You may go in, Miss

King."

Aurora sighed in relief as if she won a battle against some military chief. She looked at the house, it

was beautiful. She walked further inside and went near the pool area at the back of the house. She

searched for someone but found none then her eyes went to an open door. Aurora felt like a thief when

she walked inside the door.

An unknown terror engulfed her heart. She wanted to get out of here but then heard two voices. She

knew both of them, one belonged to Ralph and one to her fiance.

A smile replaced the terror in her heart as she moved in the direction of the voice. There was a room, it

looked like an office. The footsteps were a clear indication that they were coming in this direction.

Aurora ran inside the office room. She wanted to see the look of shock on Liam's face when he found

her there.

But there was nowhere she could hide except for the huge Mahogany desk. She bit her lip and hid

under the desk, waiting for her fiance to come inside so that she would be able to surprise him.

Her smile grew wider when she heard Liam's voice. He entered the office, his brother following him.

Aurora went there to talk to him but now she was in a situation of one of her fantasies. The office

fantasy!

She wanted to get out of her hiding spot but stopped when she heard her fiance talking about her to his

brother.

She went numb and the blood drained from her face hearing his conversation.

She wished she had not heard it, she wished she had not come there and lived in her happy bubble but

now that bubble burst open and there was nothing but blood everywhere.

Her wounded heart's blood!
